Now that's a proper sleeper!

Did you not have any problems fitting the diff at all then? IIRC OSC had to cut out the spare wheel well on the car above.

used the complete rear subframe with diff you only have to modify the wheel well if you use a m3 exhaust

That really is quite superb, obviously not as fast as a 330d but superb nonetheless!

not as quick as a 330d what you on ?

Incredibly cool! Now all you need is a 316i badge

There is a chap on here that thinks his re-mapped 335d is the quickest thing since sunrise. And this is part of the on-going joke. I hope

Does this perform similarly too the actual M3?

i had an e46 m3 previous to the 330 this is a csl engine and has slightly more horses and dont seam any slower infact i think the diff ratio is lower as it accelerates quicker and i have seen over 160mph in it

At the moment? Diesel unfortunately.
However if I could get my hands on an M3 engined E46 the wife would never know the difference!

this is also with the new genuine front csl wheels all round

I know it would detract from the stealth of the car but could you not fit the wider rears on the car? Would it take more than just 'rolling' the arches?

What a cracking car though, top effort bud.

they are way too wide you would have to cut the rear arches out and weld back m3 ones, thanks for coment

Wow, awesome project Ever thought of removing the badge/making it read 318/320/320d? etc?

I think I'd stick with the standard sport alloys but apart from that.....love it

That'd be the cherry on the cake! Or just de-badge it

[neiljohnson]

My preference would be to caniballise a couple of badges into a 332i badge.

Lovely project though. Well done
